“Forst upon the Stadge:” The Interrogation of Lady Berkeley

Sit in on the “jury of inquiry” as one of the most prominent women in 17th c. Virginia, Lady Francis Berkeley, is challenged to defend her late husband’s actions by the widow of William Drummond, a rebel who was hung for his part in Bacon’s Rebellion. For several years, Drummond’s widow, Sara, has taken issue with how her family has been treated and now, she’s brought suit against Lady Berkeley in an attempt to recover losses from her late husband’s estate. This special program will expose contradictions, interrogate legacies, and invite visitors to personally and powerfully engage with our shared history.

Included with paid admission to the Preservation Virginia portion of Historic Jamestowne.
